Happy Anniversary

On Monday, my husband and I will be celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it. I'm not sure if it feels like just yesterday or a million years ago. We've definitely been through it ALL, but we've always been through it together. We make a great team!! When I saw the CASE Study challenge for this week, I immediately knew I'd be making an anniversary card with the inspiration.

When designing clean and simple cards, it is important to maintain a fair amount of white space and create good balance and flow while creating a clear focal point. This is not always easy and sometimes you need to think a bit outside the box. I wanted my frame and silhouette images to be my focal point, but by popping up the frame, adding the silhouettes, heart and button, my design was getting too busy for my liking. Instead I used the negative portion of the frame and added the stamping & silhouettes on the card base and added the additional embellishments flush with the top panel. The main panel was adhered using pop dots to add more visual interest.

I was planning on a CAS lesson today, but that is what you got :) I hope it helps you create fabulous CAS creations.
